Conference work in Turkey

In the spring break I got an offer from my father to attend a company conference and provide a service rather than staying at home and not doing anything useful. Well, not as a participant but as a supporter.
The conference was held in Turkey on the Mediterranean coast, not far from Antalya, in Tekirova.
The theme of the conference was about pharmaceutical issues. Mostly doctors and pharmacists participated in it. The conference lasted five days, but I could stay for a week. The deal was that I had to support the conference in the morning hours, with organisational and administrative issues. In the afternoon I was completely free. I could have rest, swim, read books in the fresh air outside in the sunshine. I was very lucky with the weather. The temperature was about 25 C degrees, though it wasn't quite like summer yet. Though it was fairly warm, it was not possible to swim in the sea, the sea water was still cold. I went knee-deep into the sea, but I did not swim in the 14 C degree water. Only the indoor heated swimming pool was good for swimming.
I did not receive any payment just the flights tickets, the accommodation in this very nice hotel with recreation facilities and of course I could gain experience, too. I did not get paid extra for it, but still was worth it as I could undertake new challenges.
I could use my knowledge of Russian language, as the conference participants came from Russia. Approximately 300 participants were there and my job was to work at the information desk to help people adjust them en route. Emerging issues (like lost key, lost way to the conference rooms, etc.) were expected to be settled by me and also help the participants to proceed towards the hotel reception with different issues, because they did not speak English at all.
I never before attended such an event but I was happy that I could aid my father and his company with such actions (showed commitment in my actions). It was interesting to see how it works, what people do there. I had the chance to develop new skills and increase awareness in my areas of growth. If in the future will have the chance again to go to such a conference as a supporter I will be happy to undertake this task. First, take my time usefully and secondly you may meet beautiful new places and new people. And then once I arrive as well as participating in such a conference.
